I'm a VB newbie and am trying to figure out the StreamReader function.
I need to read data from a text file which consists of several lines which each contain a number and a name (eg "634 John").
I can manage to read entire lines at a time but is there an easy way to read in one "word" at a time without using the peek function?
How do I use a StreamReader to read the data (from a text file), parse it, and place it in a two dimensional array??
The data:
0,710,887,1130,525
710,0,1510,1610,515

I am using Visual Basic 2010 with Windows 7. My code is is follows:
Dim file as system.IO.StreamReader
file = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileReader(C":financialsprogramcurrency.txt")
TextBox1.text=file.ReadLine()
file.Close
For some reason my program does not execute beyond the Dim statement and instead displays the form without text in TextBox1.
So I made an irc client that connects, sends commands, joins a channel etc perfectly. But I can't figure out how to use streamreader to read the data that the server is saying to me, or actually read what others are saying in channel.By the way, I used TCP client.

To automate mailmerge function in word, i need to join different elements to complete the mailmergedatasource. In one of these file are words with special characters like ©, §,¨, .... When openng these files for reading, streamreader transfoms the characters to unreadable signs. When i give a type to use to open like ASCII, Unicode,it works for one or tho characters but not for all. I have the same problem when the character is read correctly, with streamwriter output to a textfile. Word cannot read the textfile and ask to define which type of coding should be used. In most of the cases not all the characters can be converted to readable characters.

View 8 RepliesWell it would appear that you need to close IO.StreamReader every time you try and open a new document. So I have tried to do this a variety of ways, with no success. I am open to the option of having it check the same document for the Username, Password, and HWID. (Yes, I know that this is not in any way a secure method to gather data but their is a reason for my madness) Anyways onto the code, I removed the URL (Yes, I did check to make sure they were all valid and worked).
VB Dim wc As New Net.WebClient 'Downloading the list..
Dim hread As New IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead("myurl")) 'URL to the list
Dim uread As New IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead("myurl")) 'URL to the list

I'm trying to read a word document for the purpose of obtaining a word count, I realise Word has built in functionality for presenting a word count but I want to write a little app that will omit certain parts of the document from the word count.
So far I have tried this code to open the document but I am getting an error 'Word.Document cannot be found' and 'Microsoft.Office.Interop cannot be found'. I have added a reference to the Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library under the COM tab. I have Office 2007 installed and I'm using VB2005.
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Dim appWord As New Microsoft.Office.Core.Application
Dim docWord As New Word.Document
docWord = appWord.Documents.Open("c: est.doc")

I am reading text from a file (*.TXT) 1 line at a time using streamreader. As I read that input, I am looking for specific starting and ending character strings ("<" and ">") . When I find those strings, I would like to select the characters between those string and have it set to BOLD and BLUE before appending that input line to the contents of a richtextbox.The only way I have found to do this is to first append the input line to the richtextbox then use the richtextbox.selection (color and font) methods to change the text.

The INPUT line needs to be fixed. From what I can see, I need to move it all to a single field and use a split to parse it, correct? As I look at the entries on this site, all the code seems to use stream readers. Why would the book not do that? Am I missing something?

View 1 RepliesI have a problem with a streamreader in visual basic 2008.I am updating a database from text files on an ftp server. The streamreader works fine until the file is more than 100,000 bytes long.It reads until it reaches this point and then just ends. No error message, it just reads to this point which happens to be 2 fields out of 6 in the database stream. My question is - does the streamreader have a limit? And if so what is a workaround?

I'm writing a program that basically loads an entire text file into a streamreader variable, then reads this variable line by line and parses and writes a line into a new text file. I'm VERY new and my knowledge is mostly self-taught, but I can't seem to get out of this one. It works for smaller files, but it appears to reach a limit in characters at some point because in a file of 900 lines, it stops writing about halfway through 800 and there are no errors, the program actually completes and the message box pops up.
There are a few things with this code I already know I should fix, such as creating the new text file name, it's messy, I just don't know how.
